in this moment

i am so happy to be here, in this body that i have chosen, with all it's little lines and crinkles, moles and marks...this body that is starting to creak in the morning when i get out of bed if i haven't stretched the night before...that has carried me through my entire childhood and the entire decade of my 20's...my body (the one i have chosen!) has loved me, even when i hated her...she has forgives my constant criticism and given me flawless skin...smiled at me with perfect teeth...she never ever gives in to sickness (ever! i am ALWAYS well!)...and no matter how much weight i gain or lose, she wears the clothes i choose as if she were the empress of the entire universe...yeah...she fly...and thick...and healthy...she comes magnificently whenever i call...and is the best kisser i know...so what am i doing with all this lusciousness? tonight; i am reading her poems, feeding her lemon pound cake, the kind with the crunchy lemony white frosting, stretching her, rubbing her with oil, and stroking her to sleep...because i have decided to love her...i am all that she has...
